Some, like Malik Beasley and D’Angelo Russell, are great at shooting threes. Others, like Josh Okogie and Jarrett Culver, are better suited for steals, blocks, and playing lockdown defense. The issue with Minnes...26369Fri, 18 Jun 2021 10:30:17 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/hear-me-out-kyle-kuzma-could-help-the-wolves-r26365/For teams that missed the post-season, the playoffs are a great time to scout talent. Playoff experience adds a degree of intensity and vigor that is otherwise difficult to replicate in the regular season. Having an NBA roster with players who have logged meaningful playoff minutes is crucial in b...26365Tue, 15 Jun 2021 10:30:30 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/could-leandro-bolmaro-make-up-for-the-lack-of-a-pick-this-year-r26361/Last summer’s draft has already yielded results for the Minnesota Timberwolves. They snagged Anthony Edwards with the first pick and Jaden McDaniels at 28. Both of these guys played above and beyond expectations this year and adjusted well to the league. Now they are part of the winning formula go...26361Thu, 10 Jun 2021 10:30:17 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/danilo-gallinari-is-the-microwave-shooter-minnesota-needs-off-the-bench-r26360/While the Minnesota Timberwolves watch the NBA playoffs from their couches at home, they must be hoping to follow in the footsteps of the Atlanta Hawks, who went from missing the postseason last year to playing in the second round this season. It’s not far-fetched to think Minnesota could have a...26360Wed, 09 Jun 2021 14:30:52 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/nerlens-noel-would-bring-a-toughness-the-wolves-are-lacking-r26358/For as long as I have followed the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team has lacked one distinct attribute: toughness. No, we’re not counting the Jimmy Butler-era Wolves as a “tough” squad. The young duo of Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins, plus the geriatric Chicago Bulls guys playing second fid...26358Tue, 08 Jun 2021 10:30:32 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-culver-miss-wasnt-a-harbinger-of-whats-to-come-for-rosas-r26357/How’s your summer going? Me? I’m just coolin’ in the southern hemisphere ‘winter,’ watching Leandro Bolmaro highlights and dreaming. That and watching players from the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 drafts lead their teams to playoff wins and wondering if we missed our chance. Anyway, back to...26357Mon, 07 Jun 2021 10:30:51 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-suns-have-created-a-blueprint-the-wolves-can-follow-r26356/It’s been nearly three weeks since we last saw the Minnesota Timberwolves take the court, a 136-121 win in the regular-season finale against the Dallas Mavericks. As is tradition, the Timberwolves missed the playoffs for the 16th time in the last 17 seasons. This season felt different though. Wh...26356Fri, 04 Jun 2021 10:30:56 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/ants-scoring-ability-places-him-among-elite-company-r26355/Anthony Edwards may be one of the most electric players off the court, but his game has started to draw the attention of basketball fans everywhere, too. Edwards has shown the incredible ability to get buckets wherever he wants, which is essential for a high-volume scorer. Ant compiled 19.3 point...26355Thu, 03 Jun 2021 10:30:36 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-wolves-are-missing-a-player-like-marcus-smart-r26354/Another NBA postseason is underway, and again the Minnesota Timberwolves are not participating in it. Yes, everyone knows that this has largely been the case for over a decade now. But the optimism circulating around the current roster heading into next year paves the way for validated excitement...26354Wed, 02 Jun 2021 14:30:28 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/rosas-perplexing-handling-of-the-point-guard-position-r26352/Ah, the offseason, a time for reflection and speculation. Take no mind that a riveting first round of the NBA playoffs is taking place as we speak, and do what most all readers of this site are known to do: Read, think about, and discuss the Minnesota Timberwolves. Let’s not focus on the here and...26352Mon, 31 May 2021 11:30:20 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/a-glimpse-into-jaden-mcdaniels-future-r26351/This is the time of year when most Minnesota Timberwolves fans take what I call a “basketball siesta.” As usual, the Wolves have long been eliminated from playoff contention, and fans can zone out for a few months until the draft lottery, checking in on the NBA Finals and tuning in for the occasio...26351Fri, 28 May 2021 10:30:24 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/what-does-chris-finch-have-to-do-for-some-nba-coach-of-the-year-love-next-season-r26350/The NBA awards are starting to be handed out as the postseason gets underway. Jordan Clarkson won the NBA Sixth Man Award, while Julius Randle won the Most Improved Player Award. The Coach of the Year candidates are down to three, and former Minnesota Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau is one of the...26350Wed, 26 May 2021 14:30:11 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/even-if-they-lose-their-pick-the-wolves-provided-hope-for-next-year-r26349/As the Minnesota Timberwolves’ season came to an end, I found myself again thinking about futility. The last game of the regular season can be meaningless in two ways: Either it doesn’t matter because you can’t change your position in the playoffs, or it doesn’t matter because you can’t make it to...26349Mon, 24 May 2021 14:00:46 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/how-can-the-wolves-improve-this-offseason-if-they-lose-their-pick-r26347/Now that this painful season has mercifully ended, the Minnesota Timberwolves must build upon their late-season surge. Unfortunately, there aren’t many options to improve this club, which finished 23-49 after a 7-29 start. But it’s worth exploring the ways that Gersson Rosas can tweak the roster h...26347Fri, 21 May 2021 10:30:23 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/how-would-the-wolves-have-fared-as-the-10-seed-in-the-play-in-tournament-r26346/Another season has come and gone, leaving fans of the Minnesota Timberwolves feeling deflated. However, true optimism grew at the end of the season as Chris Finch’s squad finished 7-5 in their last 12 games and 16-20 in the second half. It doesn’t sound like much, right? Well, this team started th...26346Wed, 19 May 2021 15:00:36 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/how-does-anthony-edwards-stack-up-to-past-wolves-rookies-r26345/You would think one of the worst franchises in modern sports history, one that constantly makes exceedingly high draft selections, would have a long history of great rookies and Rookie of the Year Award winners. Well, if you thought that about the Minnesota Timberwolves, you would be wrong. They m...26345Thu, 20 May 2021 10:30:32 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/minnesota-fed-its-good-wolf-and-transformed-after-the-all-star-break-r26343/There is a Cherokee tale about two wolves that live within us all; one that is evil, one that is good. The two wolves are at odds with each other inside each of us. In the story, the boy who is listening to his grandfather talk about these wolves asks, “Which wolf wins?” His grandfather responds...26343Mon, 17 May 2021 10:30:25 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/what-happened-to-jake-layman-r26341/Many things have changed for the Minnesota Timberwolves since the start of this season, and Jake Layman has found himself out of the rotation. Layman was a starter at the beginning of the season and seemed to be a decent fit for the team, but the former Maryland Terrapin has only seen the court fo...26341Sun, 16 May 2021 15:00:15 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/what-the-wolves-can-take-away-from-the-knicks-success-this-season-r26337/Who are these Minnesota Timberwolves that emerged from shame and utter mediocrity to mold into a product that appears competent and structured? In late April, Chris Finch’s squad took out the top-seeded Utah Jazz in back-to-back games, causing many to foam at the mouth while pondering how the hec...26337Wed, 12 May 2021 14:30:36 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/what-anthony-edwards-can-learn-from-jimmy-butler-r26336/Jimmy Butler, a man who once put pep in the step of Minnesota Timberwolves fans, has become its most infuriating instigator. Just the mention of his name is enough to make fans see red. The Timberwolves’ organization and its on-court leader, Karl-Anthony Towns, clearly make Butler feel the same wa...26336Tue, 11 May 2021 14:00:47 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/could-josh-okogie-or-jarred-vanderbilt-be-starters-next-season-r26334/The Minnesota Timberwolves are not tanking. On Sunday night, we got to see what a tanking team really looks like as the Wolves blew out the Orlando Magic, 126-96. The Tragic Magic team that took the floor was an affront to NBA basketball, but I get it. A team with Markelle Fultz and Jonathan Isaa...26334Mon, 10 May 2021 10:30:14 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/a-tale-of-two-seasons-for-anthony-edwards-r26329/Anthony Edwards is awesome, and it still doesn’t matter to me whether he wins Rookie of the Year. A month ago, I published that piece about the Rookie of the Year race. Since then, so many things have happened. This week, we learned that Edwards won his second Rookie of the Month Award. Thus far...26329Thu, 06 May 2021 10:30:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/will-ricky-rubio-finish-out-his-contract-in-minnesota-r26325/There are worse contracts in the NBA than Ricky Rubio’s. He is due $17.4 million next year, but he’s a serviceable point guard in a point guard-driven league. Contracts with just one year remaining get traded for all the time, but for some reason, Ricky’s feels like it will be hard to move.

I like to debunk the lies that mainstream media has been feeding to NBA fans. I do my own research. Today, I come to you with a nugget of knowledge that this flat world might not be ready for. So, activate your Bill Gates microchips and huff some chemtrails, because you’re in f...26323Mon, 03 May 2021 10:30:27 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/ranking-former-wolves-players-for-fit-r26315/Let’s begin with this: As a fanbase, we may have lost sight of what is important. As much as we want to make these final weeks of the season feel significant for what the future Minnesota Timberwolves will look like — and to some extent they are — to do so is to ignore the current reality: The Wo...26315Mon, 26 Apr 2021 14:00:58 +0000
